The word "yaho" in this song comes from the Hebrew "Yehowa" ... the word for the "God" or "Great Spirit" in proper Cherokee is ᎤᏁᎳᏅᎯ (or "unelanvhi"). The song is very pretty, but not truly Cherokee. It is a modern fake to be blunt.
My great grandmother,would sing this to me as I was quite small, it was only until she translated it,to me, It was that I understood why she sang it so beautifully, she knew a higher power over herself, even thru adversity she stood tall, in her language it was so beautiful,and still is my spiritual mantra, You taught me more about the spirit of the soul, than anyone ever could have,from the soul to the spirit within .I sing this and my soul is at peace, real peace that transends all.
The true americans the native, peace and love will prosper once again, we just have to stand together and stand for love,peace,fealings,respekt, and for our beautiful mother Earth that has enogh for every soul to provide, Peace.

I am white and I seem to completely understand the Native Americans. They got robbed in their way. So have I in some ways. By trying to understand. I feel like I am a Native sometimes. I am trying to write a book about the Ghost Dance. Not an easy write. Someone has to do justice for the Natives.

Beautiful, peaceful, graceful. Photographs by Edward R. Curtis...This is a song to keep...I am of Native American heritage as well...even if I were not, this is for everyone who wants to be soothed.
@potonatic You took the words right out of my mouth! But I guess we are forgetting Pocohantas... Disney knows everything... we are just stupid Indians... what do we know! LOL
@potonatic Can't have princesses without kings! LOL Science, the study of genes, says that if you are a 3rd or 4th generation Am., you have over a 97% chance of having white, black, and Indian blood! I think that is why so many identify with the Indigenious People, and don't know why. Gram always said, "the blood will tell." The roots of this land are Indian. I find it beautiful that so many want to honor the Indian Way. I'm never offended by such expressions. I hate the term Wannabe! '@v@'
@MsAKSfan I am mixed blood White and Indian, but the Indian is weak as my Grandmother was 1/4 Cherokee. However, I feel very close to the Natives of this land as I was raised to respect all life. My child years were spent hunting, fishing and understanding the beauty of nature. Then I grew to be a man and saw the ugliness of mankind in war. Now, I am retired with time to think of my past struggles to educate the youth who will not listen. It is a sad day for all when freedom is threatened.
I'm from a culture that doesn't know what the hell it's doing. Seeing this video, I'm moved by the passion filled faces. We fight with ourselves over budgets and irrelevant politics.

I believe that aboriginal peoples have some wisdom on the environment. We don't deserve it, but I hope you'll forgive us.
@alleshia257 The question is, does the federal cherokee feel the same about you? If your not enrolled in the federal cherokee tribes then they will call you a fake and fraud native american. The federal cherokee is very well known for insulting and harassing any native american that is not a card carrying federla native american.

I listened to this song by chance. How peaceful it is and how nice you are! I read about your history, and have always felt great affection for you. I don't think you're Americans, i think you are more than that.
It's hard to hear this, and to look at these pictures, and not think "These beautiful people are gone" ---- "My people are gone.." But I'm still here. And I'm proud to be here.
I love this song! I play it for my kids when they are feeling restless. I'm 1/4 Native American, and though I am not registered I still want my kids to have a connection to their heritage. This song is so peaceful and beautiful!
These are the descendents of the Patriarch Joseph; sent here, called EPHRAIM ~ sent, to PREPARE the lands for the time of the GREATEST Famine. That famine, is NOT of meat or bread; but for the PUREST WORD and TRUTH from that ONE AND ONLY, Great High Spirit, YAH. HIS son came in HIS NAME, and we call Him YAHushua HaMashiach, Omein!
It breaks my heart,when I think of how this Country would be...if the white man never came...nothing would be polluted,nothing would be extinct...the Indians should have butchered and eaten the Pilgrims...if only they knew..
@jakmak100 Had we known... we probably would have! We can be a vengeful People... even those of us who have been raised away from the Rez politics... LOL
My great grandfather was full-blooded Cherokee an was a Chief I have to agree this is a great song sad to say I have more of my Mothers Irish than Cherokee in me but I was brought up to know about both of my Heritage's
I am 100% British but something deep inside me responds to this. Because this is only one life among many and "identity" fades into meaninglessness when i choose to let it go.
This is a beautiful song... Im 36 and just found out that Im cherokee, let alone aboriginal. Wow!!! If anyone has any good sites that I can look into I would greatly appreciate it. :-)
I have listened to this over and over, I absolutely love it. When I lost my mother, It really helped me. We are Cherokee Indian, but do not have our cards. But I have never lost my heritage, and never will, Thank You!
@Gentilejedi Interesting.. Have you spent much time on the rez? Which where when? I've been on more than one, why do you choose to use the word "plight"?
Is it my plight? Is it not everyone's shared plight? Is it not the human plight? Folks need to stop romanticizing the rich and their money, and educate the young ones about truth instead of bullshit. Teach real history in high school classrooms. Then watch what happens.
@CrazyBear65 No. No one will teach real history in high school. It's European driven, make pretend history. Go into a high school and tell the board of ed, on a school *off Rez* that you want to introduce indigenous studies. Then we'll watch what happens.
@MimiDove9 A long time. You probably have hit on truth there, after seeing my own son's history books. History has never been been honest, not when it involved Native Americans.
@CrazyBear65 As an Art Teacher/Indian woman let me tell you it used to make me cring at what they were teaching for Indian history... pure nonsense most of it. I spent a lot of time dispelling those foolish concepts. LOL Hollywood Indian! Thanksgiving was the worst, I believe! .
Those grateful whites sneaked into the Indian village in the wee hours after the 'celebration' ... and killed every man, woman and child... that is recorded history. Their gratitude was overwhelming...'@v@'
@MsAKSfan Sounds kinda like how the federal cherokee is trying to do to every non federal native american descendant today. Makes me so sad how the federal cherokee is attacking the majority of the native americans in the USA today :(
@Monasukapanough yeah... though we have found our grandfather on the cherokee rolls, we have not tried to claim our heritage from that direction. I have heard that it is very difficult. On the maternal side, we are card carrying Indians. What can I say, it is more important to know in your heart than to have to carry a card! We are the only people in this country who have to carry a card to prove how much blood we are... Indian blood that is...
@Monasukapanough yes, I have heard that it is that way. it's sad to me. Perhaps they fear that people want to get part of what they have... materially. I can assure them that the Indians I know do not want anything but our Culture that was stolen from us by the practices of the whites. Indian Mission Schools, Assimilation/Annihilation laws thus leading to passing for white... these things destroy a culture. But we just don't fit in... somewhere in us a Drum beats! Calling us home, aho :)
@MsAKSfan Hi, all...Im an englishman and agree with you all and more...I have a great admiration for all the native tribes,people and their cultures....what was done to them and you,s in the past is a total disgrace !!!!!!!!!!!!! I have my 3 yr old son, I have named him Cochise Inde,after the great man himself from the Apache...he lives with me in the UK,and is the only UK born with this name on the national data base....just to let you all know...even far away we support you.
@cochiseapache1 Thank you, I am glad that you appreciate the teachings of my People. It has been said that one day the white man will dress like the Indian and the Indian will dress like the white man. I take that to mean that we will see eye to eye as True Human Beings... although I know that some say it will be the end of this time for the vermin on the back of the Earth Mother. I don't know, but I try to treat people the way I want to be treated.
@CrazyBear65 The truth of yesterday may not be the truth of tomorrow. But is shows the pathway to tomorrow. Truth, Honor and Trust must be the standard. A wealthy brave did not become wealthy sitting around the campfire. Capitalism may create wealth for all who engage. A fiat money system creates the pathway to poverty and starvation. Yes, we must learn new ways and we must teach the children Truth. Each childs future is in his own hands; Must stand beside others who hold truth above all.
I've said this time and time again and decided long ago, a video containing *Native American* material still cannot be watch without tempting the watcher to share some fraction (i.e. my grandma was fullblooded or I'm 1/4) of supposed American Indian Ancestry.
If your ancestry was not part of a federally recognized tribe and a documented Indian, please stop insisting you are a Cherokee. There are only 3 recognized Cherokee tribes today.
@Gentilejedi With the name "GENTILEjedi" and signing off with Ciao, what is your heritage? Did your ancestors have to walk the "trail of tears" as mine did? We ARE real people and do folks really use Cherokee as a "generic" term for Native American ancestry they don't really have? I don't. Are you implying wannabes use the name Cherokee? Please, I'd like to know.
@Gentilejedi I got you message through my email address via You Tube. Your comment to me had already been flagged as spam before I came to this site. Your comment was sniddy and you did not answer my questions. Were the two comments that have been removed to me also? Do you have to be hateful to someone you don't even know, or know anything about? I know on the internet it's easy to be mean, but can't you just be nice?
@BgMsDangerus I came to listen to the music, and overcome by some mundane comments seen on comments of many American Indian vids. Truth be told. Like it or not. Yawn. It is what it is though. If this is not you, why worry.
My Great Grandmother was full-blooded Cherokee. I'm very proud to be a part of her lineage. Along with my Great Grandfather who was Scottish. Thank you for a beautiful upload. I am the last to carry our surname on our branch of the family tree and very proud that granny was American Indian and married the Scotsman.
I have no known Indian blood in me, but my heart and my spirit are so deeply moved and touched by the things I have learned and been shown and always felt that I cant help but love the lessons I have learned and certain ways of life and beliefs. I am a Human Being.
I know very little of the culture and wish to know more, as I am 1/6 Cherokee. Many would never know it by looking at me being 6ft blond haired and blue eyed.
I really love this song, I'm not cherokee, but I do have mexican indian in me, and I'm very proud of that, I'm a born again Christian, but I do sing this song to my savior all the time, and I'm happy, and very much empowered to singing this song, it has lots of meaning to it, if you pay attention, and listen very closely to it, you'll see how much of a blessing it is to listen and sing it, cause your praising God along the way for his creation...
My greatgrandmother was full blood Cherokee. My father taught me alot bout nature, therefore made me sensative to nature and GOD. I wish I could have known her and listned to her strories and learned her way of life. Native Americans are very intune to God, nature and life.
i live my life to the to the ways of my brothers even though im all white man sgi for showing people the spirit of our voice and the power of our thoughts! Agian i wish not to anger people by calling myself one of the princible people but in my spirit i truly am trust me!
I come from the Cheek Name,Grandmothers side,So who am I now? I was taught all my life the Indians were the bad ones,SO WRONG,SO WRONG. I now have to deal with this day and age in AMERICA,wow, how time changes things.
Awesome music and video! I have always respected the Nations even before I learned of my grandmother's great grandfather being full Cherokee born in TN in 1818, died in1860 where 'relocated'. All documented but I suppose I don't have enough Cherokee blood in me to consider myself any part of the beautiful Cherokee Nation. Since young, I learned of the Nations, some language, went to PowWows and visit my friends on the Rez as some call it. I live in a rural area of coyotes, hawks, vultures,..
It is funny you should mention ur heritatage I am 1/2 cherokee and african american and I too chose to walk the red path when my mother went to join the great spirit and like u I have not regretted it. So I do walk proud. I have learned a little cherokee listening to these songs.
I've had this song for many years on the CD Robbie Robertson & The Red Road Ensemble.. It's one of my favourites and I play it often.. Thank you for posting it with the slideshow.. :o)
im 1/8th cheerokee and im proud to be part indian in me you can't really tell that i am but i also was raised in regular white style so in less i told you would never know but i take pride in this cherokee's where a peaceful tribe and had so much done to them the "trail of tears" which makes myself mad at our government for treating the true founders of this land terrible but they did not think this to be land , land was every body's in there eyes
Hi, I am from Croatia, Europe...Do not know much about native Americans, only from Internet and movies...I just can say that white people are poison to the other nations.. This is a beautiful song and you natives should be proud of your ancestors!!!! Wish I was one of them!!
My husband has Cherokee/Tsalagi blood, and has had this song for several years and played it for our family. We haven't been able to translate it yet, though he has been learning Tsalagi... does anyone have a translation for this song? So very beautiful.... Thanks.
This is such a beautiful song. I am proud to be an native American. I feel it doesn't really matter how much red blood you have it's how you feel about your heritage. Living in the city sometimes you forget just like people forget to really look up at the sky. One day they may say there use to be natives but I will let them say that.
Injustice is a human condition. The forgotten people (yourselves included) are all citizens of the world who have no option but to accept. The silent word has the greatest impact. We should know we listen to God all the time. What constantly drowns the voice of God?.., the sound of Moses "God said...." when in truth it is but the echo of Moses own heart that does the talking for God is, Good is...., Love in action, .. and this is the sound I hear in this video. Chineahou
I am Cherokee, Chickasaw, Cheyenne, and a bit of several other tribes and white. I do consider myself indigenous American w/ European and African ancestry. Not White w/ native blood. It is hard when you have no actual connection w/ your heritage. Genocide, adoption and other travesties on the native people have warped our cultural identity. Now the profiteers want to capitalize on it. Shame. It may be the only way our people survive though. Way bigger shame.
all I have to say is leave it up to the government and religion to oppress the native Americans for to many years put into the minds of people that they were the bad guys and that is wrong if it had not been for the natives their would have never been a Jamestown settlement or Louisiana purchase or USA I have no native American in me but I also hate the way they have been treated Hollywood has all so got to answer to some of the ill treatment of the natives to their are way to many cowbo
I'm in love with native american culture...and I identified my people from now,with native americans back then...cause America now is trying to destroy my people,supporting therorisam...I adore this culture,and I wish If I could live like a native even for 10 days to learn about native culture ;)
I am part Cherokee, not sure how much. Both of my grandmother's parents were Cherokee, and i believe her father was full blooded. Even if i dont have a lot, and I'm white, I am proud to be at least part of the Cherokee nation! I love the culture and people. My class is learning about the Trail of Tears and we are all absolutely disgusted by it. Who could do such a thing? Andrew Jackson is apparently "one of the best presidents". Definitely not in my opinion.
I HATE AMERICA 4 KILLING NATIVE AMERICANS !!! THEY DONT GET A SHIT ABOUT THEM AT ALL> SHAME ON THE FUCKIN HOBOS THAT WENT TO CALIFORNIA TO LOOK 4 GOLD CUS THEY POOR!!! I SUPPORT THE INDIANS!!!
I'm a 15 year old female who is part Lumbee, which I was told is a sect of Cherokee. I haven't been raised in the culture, or even really been taught about it, because my Mother (who is Native American) is completely Americanized, and really would just be classified as "White". She knows nothing. I'm trying to teach myself about the culture through books and the Internet. If anybody has any valuable information/stories they'd like to share, I'd be grateful if you could message me about them.
There's not one Cherokee in any of your pictures! All you people claiming to be Cherokee blood; those few thousand Cherokee Men left must have really got around. Or maybe after capture and forced exile to Federal Lands, the Heinz 57 took over, so you all can be Cherokee? LOL
i am white skinned, blue eyes. but i do have the high cheekbones, and i tan really fast. my grandmother used to make beaded jewlery and dreamcatchers in the pow wow's . when i was younger i did the tribal dances. i dont know how much cherokee blood i have in me, but i do know that i am VERY proud to be a part of this culture. im currently learning to speak cherokee. and am following my path back to where my ancestors came from. cherokee pride! <3
I love this song.I find healing in it.I am mixed,was not my fault.The Cherokee blood in me is strong.I love this beautiful earth.Her wonders are beyond words.I am more at peace with nature,than anything else and love getting lost in the mountains.
It saddens me when my brothers and sisters look down on me and others for claiming our tribe and practicing in their way of life simply because we are a certain percentage of native blood. It wasn't my choice that I would be mostly European. But, isn't it the sincerity and love in one's heart that makes them what they are? I'm proud to be Cherokee/Blackfoot/British. Most of all, I'm proud to be a part of the oneness we call Humanity.
@Rantalicious There are so few of us that are pure anything anymore that we need to draw closer, not pull away from each other. I am a quarter Cherokee, a quarter Irish, a quarter Scottish and a quarter Welsh. I am proud of them all. I chose to walk the Red Path years ago and have never regretted it. My Christian values are not compromised and my Native American heritage is honored. Walk proud... aware of who you are. It is an issue that each of us has to settle for ourselves...
I'm just barely legal, as far as having Native American in me. I'm 1/16 Cherokee, even though I was raised as a caucasian, with standard Christian beliefs. I have always had a affinity towards the Native American Culture. I respect the tribes, and what they represent. This is truly beautiful, thank you for sharing..
@Danceagain80 Thank you for taking the words from my mouth. I am white skinned and blue eyed like many others, and I know next to nothing about the culture, but I respect it immensely. my heart longs for it. I am 1/16 as well, but I wish it were more if only so I could have been raised with the culture as my own. @Rantalicious is right, it's the sincerity and love in ones heart that should tie them together. I thank my lucky stars for the Cherokee in me. it is a part of who I am.
I love this its so beautiful.

@Gentilejedi Interesting.. Have you spent much time on the rez? Which where when? I've been on more than one, why do you choose to use the word "plight"?
Is it my plight? Is it not everyone's shared plight? Is it not the human plight? Folks need to stop romanticizing the rich and their money, and educate the young ones about truth instead of bullshit. Teach real history in high school classrooms. Then watch what happens.

@Monasukapanough yeah... though we have found our grandfather on the cherokee rolls, we have not tried to claim our heritage from that direction. I have heard that it is very difficult. On the maternal side, we are card carrying Indians. What can I say, it is more important to know in your heart than to have to carry a card! We are the only people in this country who have to carry a card to prove how much blood we are... Indian blood that is...

@Monasukapanough yes, I have heard that it is that way. it's sad to me. Perhaps they fear that people want to get part of what they have... materially. I can assure them that the Indians I know do not want anything but our Culture that was stolen from us by the practices of the whites. Indian Mission Schools, Assimilation/Annihilation laws thus leading to passing for white... these things destroy a culture. But we just don't fit in... somewhere in us a Drum beats!

I've said this time and time again and decided long ago, a video containing *Native American* material still cannot be watch without tempting the watcher to share some fraction (i.e. my grandma was fullblooded or I'm 1/4) of supposed American Indian Ancestry.
If your ancestry was not part of a federally recognized tribe and a documented Indian, please stop insisting you are a Cherokee. There are only 3 recognized Cherokee tribes today.

Injustice is a human condition. The forgotten people (yourselves included) are all citizens of the world who have no option but to accept. The silent word has the greatest impact. We should know we listen to God all the time. What constantly drowns the voice of God?.., the sound of Moses "God said...." when in truth it is but the echo of Moses own heart that does the talking for God is, Good is...., Love in action, .. and this is the sound I hear in this video.

I am Cherokee, Chickasaw, Cheyenne, and a bit of several other tribes and white. I do consider myself indigenous American w/ European and African ancestry. Not White w/ native blood. It is hard when you have no actual connection w/ your heritage. Genocide, adoption and other travesties on the native people have warped our cultural identity. Now the profiteers want to capitalize on it. Shame. It may be the only way our people survive though. Way bigger shame.
